Chapter 72: Poisoned

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Every afternoon at a certain time, Qinghong Martial Arts School would have people deliver extra food from the restaurant at the side.

Naturally, it was not free, but money.

However, because Lin Yan had spent a total of 40 taels in Qinghong Martial Arts School previously, the Qinghong Martial Arts School gave him a high-grade token. It was equivalent to a VIP certificate in his previous life and he could enjoy additional meals for free.

Lin Yan followed Xie Lingyan out and smelled an alluring fragrance.

There were many people in the courtyard. They were either standing or sitting. They were eating some pancakes that were wrapped in oil paper happily.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a large pot. Thick soup bubbled. A pot of bright pork trotters was stewed until they were soft and boneless. It was oily and looked very tempting.

There was also a wooden table beside the pot. There was a stack of hot and fragrant pancakes on it.

…..
“Today, we’ll eat pancakes with pork trotters!

A lively glint suddenly flashed across Xie Lingyan’s usually calm eyes as she walked straight over.

Lin Yan sniffed and saliva unconsciously appeared in his mouth. This smell

was indeed very fragrant.

Martial arts practitioners consumed a lot of energy. It would be a waste not to eat free additional food.

He followed Xie Lingyan and lined up at the back.

in front of the pot was a fat chef in his fifties. When he saw Xie Lingyan walk over, he smiled until his eyes narrowed. “Miss Xie, the usual, right?”

Xie Lingyan nodded.

The fat master picked up a large piece of oily pork trotter and minced it into fat and thin meat. Then, he cut open the hot pancake and stuffed it full with meat. He poured a spoonful of soup on it and wrapped it in oil paper before handing it to Xie Lingyan.

“Miss Xie, eat slowly this time. There’s still a lot left.

Xie Lingyan didn’t say anything. She took the pancake and nodded at Lin Yan before walking back.

When it was Lin Yan’s turn, he showed his gold token. The fat chef chuckled and said, “Do you want more or less fat?”

“Just like Miss Xie.”

It was the same procedure, but the amount of meat was at least a quarter less than before.

Lin Yan didn’t mind. He took the pancake and was slightly stunned when he turned around. “Miss Xie?”

Xie Lingyan stood behind him leisurely, just like before, like a beautiful painting.

“Uh, Miss Xie, are you queuing up again? Where’s your pancake?”

Xie Lingyan’s expression was as usual, but a faint blush appeared on her face. Behind her, the fat chef stuck his head out and said, “Miss Xie? You’re eating so quickly again. I still have a lot here. Come, come, I’ll make another for you.”

Xie Lingyan clenched her fists and coughed twice.

Lin Yan:”…”

She finished it?

He subconsciously moved aside and let Xie Lingyan go over, but he subconsciously glanced at her mouth and stomach.

How could she eat so quickly?

It was no wonder that she was a Tough Realm martial artist. She could eat pancakes faster and cleaner than ordinary people. Not to mention that her stomach was flat, even her mouth was not greasy at all.

Lin Yan took the pancake and found a quiet corner. He removed his mask, picked up the pancake, and took a bite. It indeed tasted very good.

Looking around, there were many people in the courtyard. Most of them were like him, spending money to improve, fight, and practice martial arts. There were very few disciples in Qinghong Martial Arts School.

This was normal. Qinghong Martial Arts School and Dragon Gate Pavilion walked in different ways. If Dragon Gate Pavilion was a school, Qinghong Martial Arts School was a private luxury training institution. There were very few disciples, but all of them were elite martial artists…

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a scorching heat surged from Lin Yan’s abdomen and spread to his limbs and bones.

“This is… the detoxification is working?”

Lin Yan’s gaze froze, and his expression instantly turned cold. He looked down at the pancake in his hand.

“Someone poisoned the pancake! Moreover, I’ve tried this level of blood energy heat…”

After each poison was neutralized by the Poison Transformation Special Effect, the feeling of blood energy heat was different.

Lin Yan took another bite and immediately confirmed, “This is… the Ten

Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder!”

In order to test the effects of the medicine, he had once tasted a little of the Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder. The hot feeling of current produced at that time was exactly the same as now!

Lin Yan felt a chill down his spine.

Looking around, the entire courtyard was filled with people chatting and resting. However, without exception, almost everyone had already eaten pancakes!

It was as if an invisible storm was slowly brewing in the courtyard, and everyone did not notice it.

His heart sank, but his expression remained unchanged. As he ate the pancake, he slowly walked towards the entrance of Qinghong Martial Arts School.

“Mr. Shi, are you leaving?”

Behind him, Zhou Meng called out.

Lin Yan’s heart tightened and he said naturally, “Yes, 1 suddenly remembered that there’s an urgent matter at home.”

Zhou Meng said respectfully, “Take care, Mr. Shi.”

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Qinghong Martial Arts School would stop him from leaving.

Lin Yan walked to the door step by step. No one stopped him. He relaxed slightly, pushed open the door, and was about to quickly escape from this troublesome place.

However, as soon as he took a step out of the door, he felt a deep gaze that seemed to be filled with indistinct malice coming from all directions.

There were fruit vendors on the roadside, beggars on the corner of the street, and tea guests in the attic opposite…

The moment he stepped out, he acutely sensed that the attention of the surrounding people was vaguely focused on him!

Lin Yan’s breathing instantly stopped for a moment. Qinghong Martial Arts School was already surrounded!

He slowly stopped and did not continue to walk out. He slowly turned around and closed the door before returning to Qinghong Martial Arts School.

“Mr. Shi, why are you back?”

“I just remembered something.”

Lin Yan was anxious. He glanced around and walked straight to Xie Lingyan, who was standing in the corner and savoring the second pancake.

“Miss Xie, I want to ask you for advice again. Let’s go to the room inside.”

Xie Lingyan swallowed the pancake. “Let me finish it first.

“I can’t wait. Please come with me. It’s very important.

Lin Yan extended his hand to invite her in seriously.

Xie Lingyan hesitated for a moment. “Let’s talk while we eat. You don’t mind, right?”

“Let’s go.”

Lin Yan walked straight to the room where they had sparred just now. Xie Lingyan followed helplessly. As she walked, she ate the pancake bite by bite. After entering the room, Lin Yan closed the door and stabbed a hole in the window paper. He looked outside before turning to look at Xie Lingyan. He said casually, “Miss Xie, why are you eating the second pancake so slowly?” Xie Lingyan paused for a moment and said softly, “Because this is the third one.”

Lin Yan: “…Martial artists eat a lot, that’s normal… Huh? What’s that!”

Lin Yan exclaimed.

Xie Lingyan subconsciously looked away.

Lin Yan immediately swung his fist at Xie Lingyan’s chest.

However, Xie Lingyan’s reaction was abnormally fast. A trace of anger flashed across her eyes. She dodged to the side and avoided the punch. Then, she punched Lin Yan in the chest.

Lin Yan was forced back by this punch, but in his previous action, he had already taken the opportunity to grab the pancake in Xie Lingyan’s hand. As he retreated, he forcefully grabbed it in his hand.

A strong killing intent that flashed and disappeared instantly made Lin Yan’s back turn cold. His expression changed and he subconsciously took two steps back.

“Miss Xie, please wait. Let me explain!”

After saying that, he took off his mask and bit down without hiding his face. A trace of embarrassment and anger flashed across Xie Lingyan’s face. “…Do you want to die by explaining like this?”

Killing intent filled his face, and the coldness was oppressive, causing Lin Yan’s expression to change again. He subconsciously retreated to the corner of the wall. “Miss Xie, don’t misunderstand. In a moment of desperation, I could only do this.. You’ve already been poisoned!”
